<p>Doesn't the thought of applying to college freak you out? I feel like I am never doing enough...and personally i don't think I am. I have yet to find some sort of a passion (btw, I am sophmore...) and I am just worried I won't get into my dream school. Okay, I realize that sounds quite lame, but honestly, wouldn't you be devestated if you were rejected by your dream school? I know this topic has probably been covered an infinite number of times, but hey, i'll add to it anyway, I just need someone to share my misery with since all of my friends believe i am being pathetic anyways...</p>
<p>I don't have a dream school. xD I think I'd be happy at any of the ones on my list, otherwise it wouldn't be there in the first place. Then again, I'm pretty flexible about that so I think I'll be okay. You shouldn't worry about just one school, no matter where you go, who knows, you might have the time of your life.</p>
<p>The other part however, AGREED. As I fill out college applications I'm freaked out, suddenly everything I've done that I always felt like consumed hours and hours of my time seems...so meaningless. Or, it's like 3 lines long and I'm like....all those hours of work. Right there. Listed on a piece of paper.</p>
<p>Don't worry about the passion part. Plenty of college students are still trying to find what they want to do.</p>
<p>And relax. I'm sure you'll be fine. =]</p>
<p>yea well for me i dont really have an absolute "must get in" choice right now. i could see myself perfectly happy at a number of schools but im assuming thats gonna change when its time to apply. for the passion thing, maybe try a sport and see how you like it.</p>
<p>The funny part, hardworker, is that by the time applications roll around you'll most likely want to go to a different school! Just relax and enjoy the ride...the passion part will come if you try lots of different things.</p>
<p>Screw college. Honestly, you don't need it to be successful, it just helps, a lot.</p>
<p>Let's see how far you get in the real world without a college degree...nowadays, in almost any field, a college degree will give you the job over someone else who doesn't have a degree.</p>
<p>That doesn't mean you are destined to become worthless, hell if I could, I'd be a plumber or an electrician.</p>
<p>And for both of those you have to go to post-secondary school (albeit trade school). Sorry to burst your bubble.</p>
<p>flipping burgers does teach character, you know.</p>
<p>There are technical high schools over here, you don't need to go to a post high school school here at least not for everything. Life does not require college.</p>
<p>you're a sophomore. you should feel like this now. junior year, you'll have to start caring or else.</p>
<p>Ack! I'm scared as well, but I wont be devestated (at least not completely) if I don't get into my dream school. I will be quite upset if I don't get into any of my top choice though. I feel like I'm not doing anything to get myself into college right now (I'm a sophmore), I only have one major ec that takes up a lot of my time, and school takes up the rest.</p>
